It is a rare combination when delivery matches vast technical expertise. You have that rare duo; kudos to you! Thank you for sharing a small sampling from your immense reserve of experience and knowledge! I hold the IRS in higher regard for having had someone of your caliber in their employ and hope they and Congress learn from your upcoming book.

I am very happy to tell you that we got the best overall responses to your presentation last week of any program we have had in a long time! Interestingly, we often have good responses from attorneys if an attorney speaks or good responses from CLUs if someone speaks on risk management issues that involve insurance related products, but your presentation was appealing to a broad swath of our membership and the information was useful in a very practical sense.

I just wanted to thank you for the presentation you gave at the Praxity conference on Monday. I thoroughly enjoyed the presentation and learned valuable information on how the IRS looks at valuations, in particular discounts. By any measure, you are a very effective speaker and educator. Thank you for a memorable presentation and hope I will have the opportunity to hear your speak again in the future.
